Yes — Coconut Milk Unsweetened is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial additives: a natural flavouring (arôme naturel de noix de coco) and stabilizers/thickeners (gomme guar, gomme xanthane, gomme gellane). These extracted additives and flavourings place the product into the NOVA ultra-processed category, even though the base ingredients (water, coconut milk, calcium, vitamins) are otherwise minimally processed or fortifying components.
Similar products that aren't ultra-processed — swap and keep the flavour.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
